HOPE IN SHADOWS: Can you help?
We are full-steam ahead in organizing this year’s HOPE IN SHADOWS photography contest, exhibition and calendar. Every year we need corporate sponsors, and this year is no exception. We are hoping to expand on the successful training we offered last year, but we need a few more businesses interested in supporting us.

Please e-mail Paul at pryan at hopeinshadows dot com or call Paul on 604 782 2861 if you can help, even if it is just telling us about a company you think would be suitable, and we will contact them.

Like unicorns? Like little old ladies? You’ll love Grannycorn!
Oh, I feel so evil, posting this.
Yangcheng Evening Post reports that 95 year old Granny Zhao of China first spotted a mole on her forehead three years ago. It’s since grown into the pumpkin husk like shape you see above.
Granny Zhao says it causes her no discomfort and only blocks part of her vision. It doesn’t really bother her and she basically pays it no mind. Her family, on the other hand, is hoping that medical experts can explain what the fuck it is.
Silly blogger: it’s magic! Everyone knows that if the Buddha kisses your third eye you grow a magical unicorn horn there…and you can use it for dowsing or even pick up some pretty cool radio stations! Granny Zhao is all ovah that hip hop shit.

help! forums!
Yesterday was a typical day at the WordPress.com help forums. And, typically, I composed a rant to blow off some steam. Enjoy:
“Hi there! I’m an expert on web design, although I don’t know what a template is and cannot figure out how to use the search forum box, and I’ve only been here thirty seconds, but you should listen to me. There should totally be a way for people to post text in their blogs. They should be able to type something and have letter-shaped groups of pixels appear on their own unique webspace. What a shame WordPress.com does not allow this! I have posted a solution to this on my blog. See my blog for solutions. My blog is full of solutions.
Also, I’m not smart enough to leave a link to my blog. That is all. Think about my solutions!!!”
Gawd how I love clueless, knowitall newbies. Fresh meat.
